The
second episode of our video series “Animal Matters” focuses
on the transformation of the animal rights movement from a fringe leftist
topic to a bipartisan and non-ideological issue. Hosts Glenn Greenwald
and Sentient Media co-founder
Grant Lingel examine the evidence of that transformation, the reasons
behind the change, and how the shift provides opportunities for the animal
rights struggle and for a new ideological paradigm in democratic societies.Watch Animal Matters→

CLIMATE

Tom
Philpott.“High Steaks.”Mother Jones (May/June 2019).Philpott continues to make a strong case against carnism:
“…a spate of new studies have argued that cutting way back on meat can help our
climate enormously.”See if you have better luck than I in finding
the online text of Philpott’s MJ article.

The advisory body suggests that a dramatic reduction in the
consumption of cow and sheep products could release up to 7 million hectares of
grassland, which could instead be planted to create forests and help store
carbon.

It recommends that the UK's land under forestry should increase
to 19% from 14%.

The committee also said a reduction in beef and lamb consumption
would lead to a rise in the consumption of plant-based food, as well as chicken
and pork.

The government's "Eatwell Guide" for a healthy and
balanced diet outlines the proportion of a person's diet that each food group
should provide. The report says that following these guidelines would lead to a
dramatic reduction in the amount of red meat eaten by the population, with an
89% reduction for beef and a 63% reduction for lamb. This would also see a 20%
decline in dairy products.

The target of reducing sheep and cattle numbers by 20%-50% also
relies on people following the recommended diet, with the 20% goal achievable
if people replace red meat with chicken and pork. The higher 50% goal would
involve people switching to meat alternatives or substitutes.

The report, which has an overarching goal to create a "a
new land use policy" that will help mitigate climate change, also includes
recommendations to increase Britain's forested area as well as the restoration
of the country's peatlands and the reduction of flood risks.

"This is a wake-up call for a complacent government that we
must completely transform the way we use land, to avoid climate breakdown and
make space for nature," Friends of the Earth campaigner Guy Shrubsole said
in a statement.

"As the Committee on Climate Change says, we need to free
up land from agriculture by eating much less meat and dairy, and stop
landowners burning and degrading peat bogs -- our single biggest carbon
store."

Animal farming is responsible for 14.5% of the world's greenhouse emissions,
according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, making it a
significant contributor to climate change. Of those emissions, 65% comes from
beef and dairy cattle.

A recent report by
the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change emphasized the need for people to
consume about 30% less animal products. Eating less meat is one of
a number of mitigation strategies suggested by the IPCC to overhaul
agricultural and land-use practices, including the protection of forests.A study last month predicted
that as a result of population growth and the continued consumption of large
amounts of red meat and processed food in the West, the environmental
pressures from the food system could increase by up to 90% by 2050.CNN's Meera Senthilingam contributed to this
report.

Asparagus – The
only vegetable on the list is also the most surprising entry. Asparagus creates
8.9 kilos of emissions per kilo produced, according to the NRDC. But how?
The problem is mostly in the air miles. NRDC's
Sujatha Bergen explains: "Much of the asparagus in the United States is
flown in from Latin America, which results in greater climate emissions than
foods that are transported by trucks. While it's not the only produce item that
is flown into the country, a higher proportion of it is transported this way
than most other common fruits and vegetables (many of which we import from
Mexico). In general, if people are looking to minimize their climate impacts,
they should avoid air freighted foods as much as possible."

Pork – One kilo
of pork creates 7.9 kilos of carbon emissions. The NRDC estimates that changes
in the American diet avoided approximately 271 million tons of climate-warming
pollution between 2005 and 2014, roughly equivalent to the tailpipe pollution
of 57 million cars for one year. In the list of foods that contributed the most
to this reduction, pork is third behind beef and orange juice.

Veal – Another
entry that belongs to the beef and dairy cattle supply chain, veal has a lower
environmental impact than beef because the calves are slaughtered at a younger
age, typically at around 20 weeks versus 18 months. Each kilo creates 7.8 kilos
of carbon emission, according to the NRDC.

Chicken – Eating
less chicken meat is one of the contributing factors that have led to a
reduction in per-capita emissions linked to food in the US, but poultry still
ranks in the top 10, with just over 5 Kg of CO2 per kg of product.

9 of 10

Turkey – Turkey has
the same carbon footprint as chicken, at around 5 kilos of emissions per kilo
of meat.
The NRDC has excluded from this list some foods that most people are not
familiar with or are difficult to deliberately avoid, because they are often
used in ingredients in other products as opposed to purchased directly by
consumers in large amounts. These include: lard and beef tallow (11.92 kg of
CO2 per kg of food), dry milk products (10.4 kg of CO2 per kg of food), and
other added fats and oils such as palm oil (6.30 kg of CO2 per kg of food).

Beef – Beef
is widely recognized as the most
climate-damaging of all foods. A 2017study by the Natural
Resources Defense Council on food consumption in the US
calculates that each kilogram of beef produces 26.5 kilograms of CO2 emissions
-- the highest among all the foods observed in the study, and five times more
than chicken or turkey meat.
Animal agriculture is responsible for 14.5 percent of the world's
greenhouse emissions, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization,
making it a significant contributor to climate change. Of those emissions, 65
percent come from beef and dairy cattle.

Reducing beef consumption is an effective way of curbing global emissions.
According to the NRDC, Americans now consume 19 percent less beef than just
over a decade ago, in 2005. This is equivalent to a reduction of 185 million
metric tons of emissions, or the annual tailpipe pollution of 39 million cars.
But why is beef so bad? "The feed is largely produced using lots of
pesticide and fertilizer, which requires fossil fuels," explains Sujatha
Bergen, one of the authors of the study. "Also, the digestive system of
the cows produces methane, which is 25 times more potent a greenhouse gas than
carbon dioxide. And the manure emits additional greenhouse gases."

Lamb – Another
ruminant, lamb, comes at number two -- confirming that red meat is particularly
resource-intensive and, as such, damaging to the environment. For each kilo of
lamb meat consumed, there are 22.9 kilos of emissions, the NRDC study
estimates.
Meat production also requires large amounts of animal feed, mainly the
resource-intensive corn and soy. The synthetic fertilizer and the manure used to
grow these also releases nitrous oxide, a climate-warming pollutant 298 times
more powerful than carbon dioxide.

Butter – The third
most damaging food, by some distance, is butter: one kilo of butter equals
nearly 12 kilos of CO2 -- about half as many as beef. It belongs to the same
supply chain, making dairy and beef cattle an environmentalist's nightmare.
While Americans have greatly reduced their consumption of red meat in recent
years, the NRDC reports that butter and other dairy products such as cheese and
yogurt actually enjoyed a surge in the observed period, from 2005 to 2014.
Butter is the most climate damaging of all dairy products because there are
several steps involved in producing it that are energy-intensive: "For
example, butter production requires separating raw milk into low-fat milk and
cream, pasteurizing the cream, cooling the cream, ripening and churning,"
Sujatha Bergen told CNN.

Shelllfish – Shellfish
costs the environment 11.7 kilos of CO2 for every kilo of food produced, just
marginally less than butter. Along with milk, pork, and high-fructose corn
syrup -- widely used as a sweetener in soft drinks -- shellfish is among the
key foods that Americans are eating less of. Overall, changes in the American
diet since 2005 have led to a 10 percent decrease in per-capita climate
pollution related to food, according to the NRDC.

Cheese – Another
dairy product, cheese, comes in fifth place with 9.8 kg of emissions per kg
produced. "Our list is a an average of several common cheeses,"
explains Sujatha Bergen, "Cheeses that require refrigerated transport or
are flown in from abroad, however, tend to have higher climate impacts."

Would you like to raise awareness about population growth during Earth Day this
year? If you have an hour or two, join other local Population Connection volunteers to inform your community about
protecting ... Population Connection 2019.

As we race toward Earth Day on April 22nd it is
time to both celebrate and educate.

This will be the 49th Earth
Day celebrated here in the U.S. and around the world, since 1970,
when countless millions of the earth’s inhabitants opened their
eyes to the ravages that humankind was placing on our tiny planet
of limited resources.

The launch of Earth Day greatly influenced the
thinking of NPG’s founders, who were convinced of the need to get
people focused on the fast-paced rise in population
numbers here in the U.S. They created Negative
Population Growth only two years later in 1972 and, as it quickly
enrolled thousands of members, it grew to be one of the premiere
population-focused groups in the nation.

Today, the activism of NPG members and supporters
continues to play an important role in the fight for responsible
population policies—especially working to forcefully push back
against the ever-growing “open border” lobby and quell the
soaring number of illegal and legal immigrants entering our
country. It is a battle we must win!

Concurrent with that campaign, NPG also remains in
the forefront of the environmental movement. We are
presently compiling the returns from our 2019 NPG Member
Environmental Survey and will release the results
soon. This is our first full-fledged gauge of member input related
to our environmental activities and we are looking forward to
using the opinions shared to better shape NPG’s future
environmental activism.

Finally, we included below our 2019 NPG Earth Day
ad, tied to the theme of TOO MANY PEOPLE, which
will run in The Washington Times on or around
Earth Day.

SCROLL DOWN
TO SEE OUR 2019 EARTH DAY NATIONAL AD - THEN HELP FUND IT!

“Thirty years ago, on April 22, 1970, Earth Day
burst onto the political scene. Twenty million people
demonstrated their concern over what was happening to the natural
world around them – polluted rivers, lakes, trout streams, ocean
shores, the air we breathe and much more. The people cared, but
the political establishment seemed oblivious to it all. The
specific objective on Earth Day was to stir up a public
demonstration big enough to shake up the establishment and force
the environmental issue onto the national political agenda. Earth
Day was a truly astonishing grassroots explosion. It achieved
everything I had hoped for. At long last, the environment was on
the national agenda, where it will remain as a constant reminder
for this and future generations.

This brief essay speaks to the fundamental issue
of our time – forging a sustainable society. A sustainable
society may be described in several ways: a society whose
activities do not exceed the carrying capacity of its resource
base; or a society that manages its environmental and resource
systems so that their ability to support future generations is
not diminished. Every nation on the planet faces the same
challenge.

Since the first Earth Day, we have tried a lot of
things. We have learned a lot, and we have achieved a lot. It has
been a kind of piecemeal approach to the environmental challenge.
We tackled the most obvious and threatening problems – air
pollution, water pollution, etc. Even after 30 years there is
still much to do in these areas. We have learned that almost all
environmental problems are either preventable – or at least manageable.
With this new knowledge we now stand at the threshold of a
“Golden Opportunity” to change the course of history. We can do
it by turning away from the uneconomic practice of fueling our
economy by consuming our natural capital. Forging an economically
sustainable society is the practical and profitable alternative.
We know all we need to know to launch a long-term program that
will lead us to sustainability.

After three decades of discussion, debate,
legislation and education, there has evolved a new level of
understanding and concern over what is happening around us. The
public is prepared and, in the end, will support those measures
necessary to forge a sustainable society if the President and the
Congress present a well-documented and convincing case. Failing
to achieve sustainability is not an acceptable option. That would
be a disaster for future generations.”

HELP NPG
EDUCATE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC ABOUT OVERPOPULATION—OUR NATION’S
MOST THREATENING ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGE!

As we observe Earth Day here in 2019, it has been
19 years since Senator Gaylord celebrated the “Golden
Opportunity” that loomed before humankind. And while
substantial advancements have been made in cleaning-up and
protecting the world’s fragile environment via major human
commitments and technological innovations, the issue of
overpopulation still screams for attention. It is an issue
that must be forcefully addressed and acted on by national, state
and local leaders across the board if we are ever going to make
progress in creating a more livable world.

As it has for 47 years, NPG will continue to serve
as one of the leading world organizations fighting to slow, halt
and eventually reverse America’s population growth. This
goal is at the heart of our mission. And with the help of
our thousands of dedicated members and supporters we will
continue to better educate our nation’s policymakers, as well as
the American public, about the devastating effects of
overpopulation on America’s resources, environment and the
quality of our lives.

Get ready! Next year, will be the 50th anniversary
of the very first Earth Day and 2020 is sure to be a celebratory
year.

NPG looks forward to joining with countless
national and world-wide organizations to emulate Senator Nelson’s
actions in 2000, in taking a good hard look at all we’ve
accomplished together, renewing the “save the planet” fire within
the hearts of global citizens, setting challenging new
environmental goals, and moving forward to meet them.

Earth Day is next week, April 22nd. PopEd wants to help you make
the most out of this teachable moment by providing lesson plans that use
relevant, real-world data while also emphasizing important environmental
themes.

Data is an effective avenue for exploring a range of
environmental issues, from climate change to habitat health to water use. The
use of real-world data brings these issues to life, making abstract concepts
more tangible and encouraging students to develop deep connections and thorough
understandings. Not to mention that the use of data encourages critical
thinking and analysis skills, both of which are emphasized in the NGSS and Common Core standards.
So don’t miss out – these real-world data lessons are sure to be new favorites
in your Earth Day resource library.

Three lesson plans for Earth Day that use
real-world data

1. THE SIXTH EXTINCTION

In this high school biodiversity lesson,
students analyze written articles, graphics, and numeric data to compare modern
rates of extinction to background rates. It’s a great activity for APES!

The data connection: The
numbers about extinction rates can be dizzying, but when students do their own
calculations, they become more accessible and memorable. Viewing the data in
visual format through charts and graphs allows for quick yet striking
comparisons.

Why use it on Earth Day? This
year’s Earth Day theme is “Protect Our Species.” Scientists assert that we are
now in the middle of a Sixth Mass Extinction because of human activities.
The observed extinction rate is between
1,000 and 10,000 times the background rate with as
much as 50 percent of all species headed toward extinction by 2050. Humans are
irrevocably damaging the delicate web of life that we so critically depend on,
and awareness plays a key role in species protection.

2. WASTE A- WEIGH

This elementary level lab activity has
students collect their own data on both individual and whole-class lunchtime
waste. By weighing their waste every day for a week while implementing new
waste-reduction habits like reusable containers and non-plastic utensils,
students see how a change in behavior can have an immediate positive impact.

The data connection: What’s
more real-world than collecting data about your own life? When students collect
their own stats, they not only get practice with data collection and recording
methods, but also become engaged in authentic learning and problem solving.

Why use it on Earth Day? According
to the EPA, the average American generates almost 4.5 pounds of trash per day.
While about one-third of that gets recycled, the rest ends up in landfills
where it can leak toxic chemicals into the surrounding soil or water supply.
Reducing waste is the most effective way to combat our outsized waste
footprint.

3. MEAT OF THE MATTER

In this hands-on middle school lesson,
students graph global meat consumption, use manipulatives to explore the
environmental impact of four different types of protein, and discuss the pros
and cons of a shifting global diet.

The data connection: Sometimes
looking at data in a new format is key to understanding it. In this lesson,
students use a grid and colored bingo chips to display data on various
proteins’ impacts on water, land, and the atmosphere. This lesson is a great
entry point for discussing the pros and cons of various types of data
illustrations.

Why use it on Earth Day? Meat
production is an incredibly resource-intensive process. It takes
approximately 1800 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of beef and
33 percent of all cropland is used to farm grains, fruits and vegetables for
livestock. Decreasing consumption of animal-based foods can have a significant
positive impact on the planet.

For the next couple of months, PopEd will
continue to share classroom resources and lesson plans that highlight the use
of relevant data from the world around us. Follow us on Facebook or Twitter OR
search #PopEdRealData and #PopEdTheme to stay in touch and get exclusive access
to a slew of engaging lessons!

April
22, 2019, will mark the United States’ 49th anniversary of
Earth Day—an annual celebration of the planet’s natural beauty and a call to
action for environmental conservation. While publications and news reports continue
to warn us about the vital importance of governments addressing global climate
change, you might be wondering how best to approach environmental conservation
as an individual. This Earth Day, we invite you to learn more about the
benefits of plant-based diets.

Raising livestock =
bad news for the environment

Did
you know that animal agriculture is a leading driver
of deforestation, habitat loss, ocean acidification, species extinction, water
pollution, water use, topsoil erosion, and
desertification? Industrialized agriculture, which is central to the
world economy, has resulted in such large-scale environmental degradation and
unsustainable resource use that former Energy Secretary and Nobel Prize winning
physicist Steven Chu has deemed it “worse for the climate than dirty energy.”
In a recent talk at the
University of Chicago, Chu argued, “If cattle and dairy cows were a country,
they would have more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire EU 28.”
Indeed, estimates have
shown that 51% of the world’s carbon emissions are attributed to livestock.

If
you aren’t familiar with this information already, it might seem somewhat
difficult to believe. How can animal agriculture be worse for the environment
than everything else? The answer is that the processes required to sustain
agricultural production on an industrial scale are extensive and extremely
resource-intensive. For example, 80-90% of the
water consumed in the United States is used for animal agriculture, and
researchers at Cornell University have shown that
producing one pound of animal protein is actually 100 times more water
intensive than producing one pound of vegetable protein. For reference, one
pound of beef requires 1,800 gallons
of water!

Animal
agriculture has also resulted in large-scale land conversion, including the
clearing of forests to grow feed crops and to provide grazing land for
livestock. The widespread use of pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers
used mainly to grow feed for animals only adds to the damage. These processes
disrupt natural ecosystems and contribute to habitat destruction, species
extinction, and waste production on
a massive scale. According to one of the authors of a recent UN report, “animal
products cause more damage than [producing] construction minerals such as sand
or cement, plastics or metals. Biomass and crops for animals are as damaging as
[burning] fossil fuels.”

Plant-based diets can help save the planet

The
push amongst the scientific community for a global shift towards a vegan diet
is also reflective of the world’s rapidly growing population, which is set to
reach over 9 billion people by 2050. Scientists warn that
‘western’ diets rich in meat and dairy are inherently unsustainable—so much so
that a “global shift towards a vegan diet” is necessary to prevent imminent
threats such as world hunger, poverty, and some of the major impacts of climate
change.

Keegan
Kuhn, filmmaker and co-director of “Cowspiracy,” says, “Nothing short
of a global shift to a vegan diet will work. The idea that we as a human
population can continue to eat animals in any real capacity simply isn’t
looking at the whole picture of global depletion.” So this Earth Day, use your
power as a consumer to affect real, positive environmental change.

dynamics? Join Population Connection at Berkeley’s Vegan Earth Day celebration

SCIENTISTS REVEAL URGENCY

Bill McKibben.FALTER:Has the
Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?Henry Holt, 2019.304.Publisher’s comment:

Thirty years ago Bill McKibben offered one of the earliest
warnings about climate change. Now he broadens the warning: the entire human game,
he suggests, has begun to play itself out.

Bill McKibben’s groundbreaking book The End of
Nature -- issued in dozens of languages and long regarded as a classic
-- was the first book to alert us to global warming. But the danger is broader
than that: even as climate change shrinks the space where our civilization can
exist, new technologies like artificial intelligence and robotics threaten to
bleach away the variety of human experience.

Falter tells
the story of these converging trends and of the ideological fervor that keeps
us from bringing them under control. And then, drawing on McKibben’s experience
in building 350.org, the first truly global citizens movement to combat climate
change, it offers some possible ways out of the trap. We’re at a bleak moment
in human history -- and we’ll either confront that bleakness or watch the
civilization our forebears built slip away.

Falter is a powerful and sobering call to arms, to save not only
our planet but also our humanity.

By 1979, we knew nearly everything we understand today about
climate change—including how to stop it. Over the next decade, a handful of
scientists, politicians, and strategists, led by two unlikely heroes, risked
their careers in a desperate, escalating campaign to convince the world to act
before it was too late. Losing Earth is their story, and ours.

The New York Times Magazine devoted an entire issue to Nathaniel Rich’s groundbreaking
chronicle of that decade, which became an instant journalistic phenomenon—the
subject of news coverage, editorials, and conversations all over the world. In
its emphasis on the lives of the people who grappled with the great existential
threat of our age, it made vivid the moral dimensions of our shared plight.

Now expanded into book form, Losing Earth tells
the human story of climate change in even richer, more intimate terms. It
reveals, in previously unreported detail, the birth of climate denialism and
the genesis of the fossil fuel industry’s coordinated effort to thwart climate
policy through misinformation propaganda and political influence. The book
carries the story into the present day, wrestling with the long shadow of our
past failures and asking crucial questions about how we make sense of our past,
our future, and ourselves.
